Luna's rebirth
I could not show doubt.
The rim touched my lips.
The first sip burned. Not like wine. Not like warmth. Like fire disguised as sweetness. Like death disguised as love.
My chest tightened instantly. The world tilted, blurred, spun. My throat closed as if invisible fingers clawed at it.
The goblet slipped from my hand, shattering against the floor. Gasps filled the hall. I staggered, clutching my chest, my breath rasping in broken gasps.
“Selene!” Kael’s voice thundered, sharp with panic. His hands caught me before I collapsed fully, his arms strong, desperate. The crowd erupted into chaos, wolves shifting, chairs crashing.
